“Your earnings for the week: commencing July 7 and July 14, 1968, have been determined as $90.67 and $100.04 respectively. Because no earnings were declar- ed in those weeks, you have been overpaid '" in Unemployment Insurance benefit, and the sum k now outsOanding and owing h the Commission." Why should it have taken you all this time to find out these discrepancies? It creates an un- due hardship when you only have so much to budget and live on. Besides having to pay back the $72, I also had to pay a $50 pen- alty for making false statements. The Unemployment Insurance Commission employs many meth- ods to uncover cases where per- sons have fraudulently or other- wise improperly drawn benefits from the Unemployment Insur- ance Fund. Some of these meth- ods disclose discrepancies sooner than others. The fact that you had obtained benefits to which you were not entitled was dis- closed when a check of your em- ployment records, against your claims, revealed that you had been working while in receipt of benefits. Had these earnings been reported in your claim, as requir- ed by law, subsequent difficulty could have been avoided. - Jobless insurance information I received a notice of 'rtrerpar- ment on Dec. 5 which read as follows: Schools and universities suf- fered most, according to the an- nual report of Fire Chief John Slaller. Loss was reported at $100,244, or almost half the total. Most of this ($99,768) occurred at the School of Optometry, 35 King St. N. Cause of the fire was not determined due to the heavy Waterloo lost $200,787 worth of property last year through fire. This represents a per capita loss of more than $6.

Of these, 401 were in the city and 10 in Waterloo Township. Firemen responded to another call sent in through the mutual aid assistance system esta. blished by all Waterloo County fire departments. Firemen were called to M vehi- cle fires, estimated loss from which is $6,020. Another major fire occurred at " Alexandra Ave. Damage from the attic blaze was set at $8,371. $9,687.

A hot plate ignited paper and wax at the Plum Tree gift shop, 18 Albert St. (New the commun- ity services board headquarters). Final estimates of damage were charting and burn out of the building, which was formerly the old Waterloo Post Office. A significant feature of the proposed Klondike Gold Rush In- ternational Historic Park will be the joint development and inter- pretation by both countries of the historic Chilkoot and White Pass Trails from Dyea and Skagway to Bennett., Also under study is the establishment of a Yukon historic waterway, embracing the water route to Dawson City and designed to preserve the histori- cal environment of its more sig- nificant features. The United States historical- development would be centered on the Skagway-Dyen area od Alaska. (when the Brst strike was made).

To cross the rugged coastal mountains and to tap the riches of the north country, construction of the White Pass and Yukon Railroad was begun at Skagway in May 1898. T ly opened Brackett Route. On May 28 when the ice broke on Lake Bennett more _than 7,000 small craft cast off for Dawson. Tent camps which soon became bustling cities sprang up at Skag- way and Dyea. The newcomers fought their way over the Chil- koot and White Pass Trails to Lake Bennett where they built boats for the rush down the chain of waterways leading to Dawson City. Hundreds died along the way. By the spring of 1898 thous- ands more thronged over the new- den! - and marking system to be used in both countries and a joint series of maps and guides to the entire parts. Chretien emphasized the int. portance 01 close cooperation be- tween the two federal govern- ments, the State of Alaska, the Province of British Columbia and the Yukon Territory if the plan- ned International historic park is to become reality. A similar announcement was made in Alaska by United States Secretary of the Interior Walter J. Hickel. From 1891 to 1905 thousands of miners and treasure seekers from the United States, Canada and Western Europe came up the west coast to Skagway and hiked their tortuous way alonk moun- tain trails and onto the Yukon Waterway to Dawson, in Can- ada’s Yukon Territory.
